My personal WHY

Why I'm a Creator and why I support Creators

Dave Oldham

I love building cool stuff with cool people.

I especially love building, and helping others build consumer products that improve our lives and the world we live on. There's something magical about dreaming up a better way or brand new way of doing something and bringing it to life. With consumer products, people vote with their wallets on an individual basis about whether your product is great or not, and if it's not, you go back to the drawing board and try again.

“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.” - Dieter F. Uchtdorf

My early career was mostly focused on B2B software. I worked for several tech companies that designed and built platforms to help businesses succeed in the areas of news publishing, digital advertising, customer success, sales management, and leadership development.

Then I entered the social media and direct to consumer advertising and product creation space. I am personally enamored by both physical and digital products that are beautifully designed, simple to use and understand, and that are built well with a long useful life. Whether they make our day to day tasks easier, improve our health and relationships, augment our physical abilities, clothe and protect us, make us look better and feel better, help us travel safer and faster and further, allow us to explore this big planet we live on and the vast space surrounding us, or simply surprise, delight, and entertain us - there are so many amazing consumer products being brought to life every day, and I'm stoked to be in the middle of it.

I want to help Creators bring their amazing ideas to life. And I want to bring all the crazy ideas I have to life. I'm constantly haunted by ideas (they usually pop into my head in the middle of the night). I feel driven to attempt to give them form, and would rather die having tried to Create and have failed, then to let my ideas wither as a result of fear or laziness.

It's the Creator's curse. If you have it, you know what I'm talking about - and I want to work with you to help you make your dreams reality!

How can I help you build your thing?! Let's talk!
